Bowling Night

The bowling night was on January 27 and 21 of us attended.  It was a lively, friendly gathering and our first job was to divide ourselves into teams and select the balls.  After that we settled down to the main event of the evening.  There was plenty of laughing and clapping when a member of your team made a particularly good score.  I did not understand the scoring.  I had only played it once several years ago, so I was very surprised when my team mates told me I had won a game (beginners luck).  We all finished about 9.30pm, said our goodbyes and went home.

All in all it was a very enjoyable event and to be recommended.

Board Games Night

Our first meeting of the New Year is, by tradition, our board games night.  Thus it was on January 12 and very noisy it was too!

We had a great night with much laughter, good for the soul so they say.  It was also our 'Wear something red' night.  Basically we paid £1 to wear something red, our visitors, of which there were 4, judged the competition the winner walking away with £13 and our funds also £13 better off, a win win situation.

We also did some serious stuff too.  We listened to the list of proposed Resolutions to be put to our Annual General Meeting and then cast our votes for each proposal which will be added to votes from WIs all over the country giving us a short list to vote on in May before being put to our AGM in June.

We next get together for our bowling night out on January 27, can't wait!
